Chapter 86: Take Refuge

The old man originally didn't want his grandson to accept it, but after seeing the smiling face of his grandson, he couldn't say anything more.

He hadn't seen his grandson smile so happily for a long time since he fell ill. Just based on this reason, he couldn't bring himself to ask his grandson to return the things.

Shen Shixu saw that the old man's expression seemed to have a lot of stories, but they were embarrassed to ask about private matters when they met for the first time, so he poked 011 who had been sleeping in his head for a few days.

Before coming to Qucheng, he discussed with 011 and asked 011 not to tell him any gossip, especially about the case, and only talk about it if the case really could not be solved.

But Shen Shixu ended too quickly, and 011 didn't have the chance to speak at all. The silence lasted until now, until Shen Shixu poked him, and he started talking.

[Brother, do you want the gossip about this grandfather and grandson? Let me look for it and tell you right away. 】

Jiang Miaokong and Song Zhuoyang, who heard 011's voice for the first time, widened their eyes in shock. They opened their mouths to ask others if they heard it, but they felt someone covering their mouths.

Jiang Bin and Zhang Ming each covered one, and Jiang Bin whispered in their ears: "Don't talk, what you heard is the voice of my master's head 011. There is nothing in the world that 011 doesn't know, so shut up and eat melons honestly."

From what Jiang Bin said, they already knew that it meant there was no danger, but what did they mean by eating melons? How come they haven't heard of it? Is their information too out of date?

Later, as 011 told the story, they finally understood what "eating melons" meant. It turns out that it means just watching the fun!

[Found it!] Brother, that little kid is so pitiful. He hasn’t been sick since birth. He hasn’t been sick for long, and his illness is man-made.

This old man's son was a lustful man. Relying on his family's assets, he took many concubines.

Some of them followed him willingly because he was rich, some were sold by their families, and a few were taken away by him through some means.

Not long ago, he used some means to seize a married woman and beat her husband to a cripple. The woman died not long after.

The woman and her husband had been childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship. When she heard that her husband had died, she hated the old man's son and tried every way to take revenge.

The woman's family grew up in a medicinal herb business and she developed a poison herself.

He originally wanted to put it on the old man's son, but accidentally, it was eaten by a baby.

The woman only wanted to take revenge on the old man's son. She didn't want to hurt any innocent person, especially such an innocent child, so she immediately called a doctor. However, he only saved his life. The whole person became very weak and would get sick at the slightest trouble, especially his cough. When it was serious, he would cough up blood.

When the old man found out that his grandson had become like this because of his son, he was so angry that he broke his son's legs, sold off the family assets, and dismissed all the concubines in his backyard.

The woman who poisoned people was sent to the county government office. No matter what her reason was, she did harm people after all, so it was appropriate to deal with her like this.

The old man found a fierce and ugly woman to be his son's wife. The boy's mother died early, otherwise the old man's son would not have been so presumptuous and would have been punished long ago.

He left some money for them and took his children to the capital to live with his uncle's eldest brother. The old man thought that there were many capable people in the capital, and maybe someone could cure his grandson. Of course, they also sought medical treatment along the way, but the results were not very effective.

This old man has a very miserable life. He lost his father in his childhood and was raised by his eldest brother. He lost his wife in middle age and had an unfilial son in his old age. He also had to clean up the mess made by his son, take care of his little grandson, and take his grandson to seek medical treatment. He has never enjoyed a few days of happiness in his life. 】

011 After saying this, we all felt sorry for the old man. He had suffered all his life and now he couldn't enjoy his life at the age when he could, and he still had to worry about his little grandson.

Shen Shixu asked 011, [The old man’s eldest brother is a good man. Will he help them if they go to him for help? 】

011 flipped the page of information in his hand and said, "Yes, the old man's eldest brother loves his younger brother very much. If the old man asks him for help, he will definitely help.

In addition, the eldest uncle's son was also very capable. He served as a captain of the Imperial Guard in the capital, but he also had a problem. His sperm quality was poor and he would never have children in his life, so he wanted to adopt this little baby.

The child has lost his mother and his father is not that good, so it is appropriate to adopt him.

The old man also agreed. He was worried about what would happen to his little grandson after he was gone. He can't rely on his good-for-nothing son at all.

He felt relieved to leave his little grandson to his promising nephew.

His eldest nephew was also grateful for his kindness and always took care of the old man as if he were his second father, providing him with support and care until his death.

It can be said that it was only after he went to the capital that the old man truly began to enjoy a peaceful life. 】

Shen Shixu felt relieved when he heard that this kind-hearted old man and his little grandson could have a good home.

So he took the initiative to ask the old man, "Old man, why are you taking care of your grandson alone at your age?"

The old man knew that they were all good children. When he heard his question, he sighed and said, "It's unfortunate for our family to have such a bad son. He has become a burden to my little grandson.

My grandson is in poor health and that bastard can't be relied upon. I can only drag my old bones and take my grandson to the capital to seek refuge with my eldest brother.

Beijing is a great capital with many capable people. Maybe someone can cure my grandson, which is why I am taking him on this journey at such an old age. ”

Jiang Bin had long known from 011 that the old man was going to Beijing, so he pretended not to know and said with a look of surprise, "Old man, you are going to Beijing too. We are also going to Beijing, so why don't we go together so that we can take care of each other."

The old man didn't expect that they were also going to Beijing. He was very tempted by Jiang Bin's proposal, but he was afraid of bringing trouble to this group of young men.

Zhang Ming is best at dealing with all kinds of interpersonal relationships. When he saw that the old man was obviously moved but worried about something, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Don't worry, old man. Just think of it as a way to repay you for giving us these pies. Besides, we have a carriage. Your grandson is not in good health. He can ride in our carriage without being exposed to the wind, and his cough should not be so severe."

When the old man heard Zhang Ming mention his little grandson, he agreed. He said it was okay for him to suffer a little, because his grandson was young and sick, and he had to take him into consideration.

"Then I will shamelessly go with you. As a reward, I will pay for your meals on the way. I have been a cook for decades, and my cooking skills are pretty good."

The old man's words were an unexpected surprise. Now even if Shen Shixu and his friends didn't stay at the inn, their food would be guaranteed.
